Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Aviation Authority has concluded a procurement process focused on Hydrogen Safety and Regulatory advice, with the final contract being awarded to the Health and Safety Executive. This procurement falls under the services category and pertains to safety consultancy and hazard protection within various regions across the United Kingdom. The process was initiated under UK legislative basis 2023/54, and the contract was signed on 9 February 2026. The contract's active period extends until 31 December 2026, with the total gross value amounting to £79,440.00.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in safety consultancy, hazard protection, and transport systems consultancy. Companies with expertise in providing regulatory advice regarding hydrogen safety could find significant prospects within this contract. The procurement method used was a below-threshold and unknown approach, suggesting opportunities for agile SMEs or specialised consultancies to engage in central government projects with a focus on innovative safety solutions. Moreover, the wide geographic delivery scope enhances the potential for regional collaboration and expansion. Businesses fitting the large-scale and non-VCSE profile, like the Health and Safety Executive, would likely be well-suited to compete in such contracts.
